My apologies, the light is orange when powered off where as my working wii is red.

Sorry for the 2 posts.

Thank you to both of you. I will run a system check and see what this yields.

- EDIT - was reading how to run a system check and this requires HBC which I can't install.

Then it's not completely powered off. Hold the power button for 10 seconds or so and see if it turns off. But anyway, sysCheck doesn't require the HBC. you can run it from an exploit just like the HackMii Installer.

the reason i am asking this question is because that i have bought a wii this year and i found this recommended guide for softmodding wii but it seems that it started in 2009 and i am afraid that the modpack files are outdated and can't be used anymore

Yes, this guide will work on your wii, as long as it's not a wii mini.
This Guide has been updated and is always being updated.

If you have have any questions/problems with this guide , just post in this thread and someone will help you.

Picked up an older model running 4.1. Now my question in the guide, chapter 2 talks about updating the System Menu to 4.3 (along with the shop channel etc), but then in Chapter 3 downgrading system menu to 4.1. I'm a little confused by that?

ooh, I think I just realized what it meant, its updating the Ios, but referencing that if I don't have 4.3 I'd need it. kk ... so basically I don't need to downgrade cause I'm already in the sweet spot.

By the way you are now breaking this rule....h) Posts that do not pose a question should be contributory to the thread or site.

I would like for you to follow the rules, this is all I asked you to do and I asked you very Nicely.

Making a NAND backup after having completed the guide.

I hope I am posting this in the correct place...
Despite my best efforts to fallow this guide to the letter, I forgot to save the three "bootmii files": sd:\bootmiisd:\nand.binsd:\key.bin
How do I re-do this having done all the steps in the guide?

So I feel like an idiot, I am also afraid of using my newly softmodded wii for fear of bricking it. I have little/no idea what I'm talking about, just bought the wii yesterday. Any help is super appreciated. thanks.
